I'm definitely not arguing that there isn't something unusual about him. But your statement that one or both his parents cannot be his actual parents is an assumption, not something established by evidence. Same with the supposition that the Templars wanted to keep him under control.
Happy to know it helped and you liked it. Rest assured, I'll be continuing it going forward (as long as Ceo would like me to), I know he had considered briefly the possibility of an in-game one but whether or not that actually happens is another matter, with any luck I'll be able to grab a copy of the next early so can get it done ready for release. I'll speak to him nearer the time about it, whenever that is heh.
Not the balance. Roland is the headmaster and the one who is by obligation worried about the future of the order. Since they keep their numbers thanks to their descendents, and Roland refuses the advise of Linnae of recruiting among the populace, it doesn't make sense he refusing to introduce his son and daughter as his and his wife natural substitutes once they are gone. It only breaks the tradition that we know he strives to preserve, but also jeopardizes the future of the order. Remember they are prone to make lots of sacrifices for the good of their order. The only rational reason is that MC is a special case that demands special attention and special treatment.
So a parent that peaces out and abandons the kid(s) to live their own life is respectable?
A lot of world leaders in dodgy areas/circumstances send out their kids as far away from their immediate sphere of influence as possible.
I hate all templars but I think the only one I could just a little bit
Linnae is definitely the best of them, I don't know if that's worth much because the rest are awful, but whether or not I'd spare her (if given the opportunity to take them all out) depends in part on whether she had any role at all in Finn's death.
In this context? Fuck yes! Without a shadow of a doubt. If you are the grandaddymaster of the dorks and wife, you pretty much have the biggest target on your back possible. Linnae understood the risks. You either abandon your family or you retire completely from the order.
I don’t like Linnae. I might, if we got the opportunity to slaughter all of the templars, spare her - maybe - depending.
What would the kids could have done if they knew that they have a massive target painted on their backs?
An honorable choice for her duty as a templar but a dishonorable one for a mother. However you look at it it's a shitty choice.
Do you behave the same while you walk a dark alley at night as you would walking through a busy market street in broad daylight? You don't. Neither of us do unless we're hopelessly aloof. When we perceive danger we adapt accordingly. I'd rather know there is a chance I'm a target at all times, gives me a fighting chance. I'm not saying they should have made the kids templars but hell they were already training them from a young age. Why not instill in them the notion that they may not always be safe?
In the case of Linnae, she was open all the time, and they decided that they won't no bussiness with the Templars, a situation entirely different as they knew everything, there was no secrecy among them. The Callisters kids didn't have any choice. Their lives were decided for them. If not for the secrecy they could have been raised inside the Castle and learned the basics for dealing with adversities. But having being raised in ignorance, they lived in a world that could have harmed them at any moment. They were lucky it took so much time because eventually it did happen.
With how brazen the Mercs were there is no "training" that would make you come out of that scuffle completely/relatively unharmed as a civvie.
He was more lucky than skilled. That merc could have killed Kaija who trained for her entire life with several tutors in several continents. His "training" with the eggball could never prepare him to survive by himself.
Yes, but that doesn't mean his dad didn't taught him and his sister the basics, and you can be the Best Warrior or Killer , till you get killed, the point is he has at least a small chance to survive, and the right mindset.
Realistically they had 3 optionsYeah, so you see Linnae did it right, .....
